Description
In 1973, Chile's democratically elected socialist government was overthrown by a US-backed military coup. Film director Miguel Littín fled the country and later returned in disguise to make a film about the regime. Littín's plan was to secretly assemble a film crew from three different countries, each supposedly making a movie to promote tourism. The goal was to capture the truth about the new dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, while avoiding detection by his secret police. Gabriel García Márquez sat down with Littín to hear the story of his adventure and wrote it down, applying his unique gifts as a novelist. The result is a true-life adventure story that offers a unique perspective on Chile's tumultuous past.
